Its my turn now!

You would probably be surprised to hear that all games are turn based in some form or the other. Even the ones that say they are 'real time' really at the end of the day are turn based. The code ploughs through everything that it needs to plough through, asking everything that needs to be asked what it wants to do, what it wants to do. Seeing as code cannot ask more than one thing at the same time you could say each time it does its little update it could be a turn. Why bring up such boring detail when you could be beating down a hooker without knowing? Well mostly because of the question of whether or not one could view life in the same way. Life being a series of infinitely small turns, the universe continuously polling us, as we make our moves, as we roll cosmic dice to try to get a girl to go out with you (watch out, critical miss = kick in the beans).

Which brings us to the title of the blog. Why turn based stupidity? I don't really know. Maybe the prospect of idiots going "you be stupid, i be stupid, you be stupid..." into an infinity of initiative rolling would make worthy blog material. Sadly it probably would not and at this point of time it is simply a cute name to start a gaming, game development and ... whatever blog. I do hope you will find here all manner of useless trash posted by the three of us to be whatever it is that will cause you to leave a comment/become a follower and hence shed some awsomeness into our sleep deprived lives.
This is tenseiga,
There is no distance between us.
